Compliance with EU directives: insights from international relations and comparative politics
本文探讨欧盟成员国遵守指令的程度、模式及原因，认为遵守是国家选择，并回顾国际关系与比较政治理论以解释这些选择。
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) has issued hundreds if not thousands of directives and decisions over the last twenty-five years. Yet questions of compliance — to what extent do states comply, which states are likely to comply, what patterns of compliance exist within and across areas of regulation? — have not been extensively investigated and remain poorly understood. This article argues that compliance is a matter of state choice, and reviews current theoretical writings in international relations and comparative politics in order to better identify reasons for states' choices to comply with EU directives.
